The 83-year-old legendary actor, who played Mr Spock in the sci-fi franchise for 47 years, passed away at his Bel Air, Los Angeles home on Friday, following a long battle with lung disease.

He took to Twitter in 2014 to share his diagnosis, and gave his followers some advice, saying: 'I quit smoking 30 years ago. Not soon enough. I have COPD. Grandpa says, quit now!! LLAP [Live Long and Prosper]'.
